“I was first introduced to Alison via her blog. Every time I would read her words I would be in awe at how her writing was just what I needed to hear in the moment. It was as if she was sitting across from me, knowing what I needed. Eventually, I did book my first appointment and gave myself the gift of one-on-one time with her!

Alison is extremely tender-hearted, a gifted listener, and offers gentle and direct questions that open up new layers of self-understanding and personal patterns. I admire how she weaves in her own life stories, while expertly guiding me towards my own authenticity and honesty. We laugh, cry and after every session I leave a little lighter and with greater clarity. Thank you, Alison for sharing your gifts and being such a light!” - A.D.

“I highly recommend Alison’s services to anyone looking for a gentle yet powerful way to transform their life.What Alison has created with Embody Life has truly transformed lives from the inside out. In the age of so many coaches, self help books and programs, Alison is the REAL DEAL. She is incredibly gifted and will put you on the fast track to healing. Upon meeting and working with Alison, it is clear that she holds immense wisdom, a truly kind and gentle spirit and a passion for transforming lives for the better. Her coaching has provided results that show up in immense ways in every day life from relationships to career to transcending insecurities and past traumas. I would especially recommend Alison’s retreats and events which she puts so much heart and soul into - these events are so transformative and exactly the kind of escape that everyone should take for themselves regularly.”

“Alison is an incredibly gifted and intuitive healer, she offers creative and aligned guidance. She has been a pool of knowledge in all things health and wellness in my life, helping me find a tangible connection with my body. I have been literally transformed over this past year while working with Alison and being apart of The Acceptance Circle.

I have been able to overcome paralyzing anxiety and depression, and move through trauma that was unconsciously controlling my life. It’s been a slow and diligent process but I have become more present in my body and able to face my truth, my shadows. The truth of unhealthy patterns, addictions, numbing and avoidance behaviors, and how I was constantly living in survival mode.”

“Alison has not only been a mentor and inspiration to me, but also a coach of life, wellness, self and love. She is able to unpack many life challenges for others in a natural, raw and effortless way. I never have felt that Alison was my coach and instead I have felt like she has been an ally who walks with me through old, new and unfamiliar terrain. Her constant dedication, interest and daily support in my life has allowed me to change behaviors, develop new skills, realize internal struggles and feel empowered to confront life with fierce power and drive. She is not afraid to let others into her life, be vulnerable and express similar struggles, which has allowed me to develop a deep and trusting relationship with her. I am more than happy and blessed to say, I have found a sister to walk through and take on life with. Thank you Alison!” ~ S.C.

“Your tools clear a path to allow one to care for self and to self-advocate” ~ C.R.

“I have very strong beliefs about teaching and how best to reach and inspire people. I am extremely confident that I know what makes a good teacher. And you are an excellent teacher. I observe very closely your approach and you know exactly what you’re doing. The best teaching is more about restraint and less about the dissemination of information. You hit that balance exceedingly well while at the same time building trust with your student and coaxing him or her to move out of his or her comfort zone. This is a gift which, quite frankly, many “teachers” do not possess. You possess it in the deepest sense. I feel very lucky to have found you.” ~ M.T.

“I saw Alison for several months this year when I was struggling with a mix of health and life transition issues. Alison’s gentle, intuitive, caring approach combined with her extensive portfolio of techniques and knowledge helped me through a tough time. Each session with Alison brought a synthesis of yoga, massage, healing touch, self-care advice, and empathetic listening that helped calm my mind and restore my body, and I left with new techniques for centering in my daily life.” ~ A.B.

“At the beginning of our work together, I was experiencing a lot of uncertainty in my life and at first I thought of it as being external. Through Alison’s guidance I began to see that everything starts within. That even though you cannot control the actions of another, you can certainly control your own actions and reactions. The accountability was invaluable and most importantly, Alison saw a light in me. It took several sessions for me to start seeing that same light within myself. She challenged me to dig deeper, rich further into the most authentic part of who I am. Today I can truly say that I am alive. And I am and will forever be grateful for the guidance, resources, accountability and belief that Alison has contributed into my life.” ~ P.K.

“I met Alison at a time when I needed someone on my corner. She helped guide me back to myself through her loving support which is her ability to help you see yourself more clearly. Those weeks of working with her not only helped me gain my confidence back but she validated my emotions which helped me find more compassion for my life’s journey. I’m forever grateful for her heart’s generosity as sometimes we all need someone who will help expose the light within.” ~ P.S.

“Working with Alison has helped empower me to stand up for myself. She has helped me to take a look at myself with compassion and love. Alison truly guides you with a positive outlook and unconditional love. She helps to give you the tools to take control of your life and learn to have compassion for yourself and for those in your life. I am so thankful that I have found her!!” ~ E.D.

“Alison’s brilliant work flows directly from her commitment to living an embodied, empowered and authentic life. Alison’s compassionate strength encourages turning toward and nurturing oneself as a way to navigate the challenges and complexities in our lives.

Thank you Alison for helping me to understand how to take essential action in service of a grounded and empowered life.” ~ S.B., Teacher

“The Universe brought Alison into my life when I really needed support.This past February I was so blessed to reconnect with Alison after working together back when I was a teenager. Having previously attended many women’s groups I knew the Acceptance Circle was exactly what I was seeking. It has really been the catalyst I needed to approach life from a more mindful, present and grounded place. To be honest, I am a new, better version of myself than I was when I began this circle. Working with her has helped to expand limitations within myself, so that I could begin to manifest what I want/need externally. Alison holds a truly sacred space, full of empathy, wisdom, and love. She facilitates a woman’s group that is safe, honest, and has been monumental for my personal growth. I am so grateful for her work, she is inspirational!” ~T.H.

“Being a part of Alison’s Acceptance Circle for Women and working with her one-on-one has changed my life! I can honestly say that I have gotten more out of this program than I ever did in any of the traditional therapies I have tried in my life. I am learning so much about myself through my interactions with these other women and am healing on a deeper level than I knew possible. Alison holds a safe space for us all to be who we are without being invasive or dominating. We all loved it so much that we kept adding time to our commitment to the group!” ~S.L.

“I met Alison when I attended one of her in person retreats 5-6 years ago. She was a blessing then and a blessing now! Around this time last year I started noticing her IG posts and signed up for her newsletter or maybe it was the other way around... I just remember seeing her message with new eyes and wanted to learn more. We set up a zoom meeting and by the end of January I joined her newly formed Acceptance Circle. To say it has been life changing is an understatement. I found community, acceptance, and reflection from the beautiful ladies in my group.” ~G.S.

“My work with Alison is meaningful and measurable. I’ve made significant strides in learning how to live an empowered and embodied life. I am excited about the practices I’ve already gained and the future potential of my well-being as I continue to execute them. I highly recommend Alison!!!”

~P.C.

“Alison has a demeanor that exudes compassion and empathy. I felt this in my core within the first minutes of our interaction. She has the deep experiential knowledge to guide in a way that is loving and supportive yet firm. She gave me the tools needed for my own growth and healing and gave me the guidance to set my feet firmly on my own path. I highly recommend Alison to anyone needing a new perspective for growth.”
